Yes, Tumbleweed (actually MicroOS uses Tumbleweed packages as
well), which is a rolling distro and I updated (almost) daily, so
it is hard to say which version.

- Which git version do you have installed? How did you install it?

mitmanek:~ $ rpm -qf "$(which git)"
git-core-2.47.0-1.1.x86_64
mitmanek:~ $ 

- How did you install the git-prompt support?

Using the git-prompt.sh from the package, but it seems to be the same as the upstream one in contrib/

mitmanek:~ $ rpm -qf /bin/bash
bash-5.2.37-14.2.x86_64
mitmanek:~ $ rpm -qf /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-prompt.sh
git-core-2.47.0-1.1.x86_64
mitmanek:~ $ diff -u \
    /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git-prompt.sh \
    <(curl -L -s https://github.com/git/git/raw/refs/heads/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh)
mitmanek:~ $ 

- Which shell do you use? (bash? zsh? something else?)

bash with ble.sh (freshly updated, but the problem can be reproduced even without it)

- How is the (git) prompt set in your shell startup file? (~/.bashrc,
  or ~/.profile, etc). If you don't know exactly, then can you please
  attach your shell startup files?

* /etc/bash.bashrc is
  https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/bash.bashrc (the
  standard openSUSE one with the addition of loading
  /etc/profile.d/distrobox_profile.sh)
* /etc/profile is https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/profile
  (git is not mentioned anywhere in /etc/profile.d)
* /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt is
  https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/git-prompt (so, yes
  git-prompt may be attempted to be loaded twice)
* /etc/profile.d/distrobox_profile.sh is
  https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/distrobox_profile.sh
* ~/.bashrc is https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/bashrc
* ~/.config/blesh/init.sh is
  https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/init.sh

- Can you provide a sample repository to clone which reproduces the
  issue? for instance, you can pick a small repo from github.

Basically any git repository which has more than one
level of directories, I spent most of my time in
https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/m2crypto, so when I do `cd src` the git
status evaporates.

- What are the steps to reproduce the issue? is it enough to "cd"
  into an existing sub-dir at the git dir? or is it only broken
  when creating an unrelated sub-dir and "cd" into it? better yet,
  provide a 1:... 2:... 3:... steps which reproduce the issue for
  you, and which others can try to follow.

Yes, just run `cat <(curl -L -s https://mcepl.fedorapeople.org/tmp/typescript)`

   sudo zypper install bash-git-prompt

I don’t have this package installed at all, using the script from git-core.

     . ~/git-prompt.sh
     PS1='\w$(__git_ps1)\n\$ '

Yes, that works:

mitmanek:~ $ export PS1='\w$(__git_ps1)\n\$ '
~
$ ~/repos/m2crypto
cd -- /home/matej/repos/m2crypto
~/repos/m2crypto (master $)
$ cd src
~/repos/m2crypto/src (master $)
$ 

So, the problem is somewhere in my too complicated configuration. Any idea, where?

Thank you for your help so far!
